Early Childhood Development

Only 21,000 or 17% of an estimated 124 000 Children in the Pixley Ka Seme region have access to Early Childhood Development centres or community home- based play group centres.

 

Our aim is to ensure that 100 % of the children in our region have access to Early Childhood Development centres or community home-based play groups by 2030.

 

In order to achieve that we are collaborating with the Department of Social Development and relevant local authorities in the provision of ECD centres and playgroups. Solar Capital De Aar 3 funded the construction and maintenance of the iKhwezi Prep School.  The first two classrooms were completed and launched in April 2019, all the services are installed and the concrete platforms for another 6 classes are also completed. 80 children between the ages of 3 and 6 years attend iKhwezi Prep school.  Phase II comprising of another 2 classrooms for 80 children are now underway.
